A presidential proclamation designates Sept. 11 as a national day of prayer and remembrance and as Patriot Day.
Tomorrow is the 2 year anniversary of that tragic day. Take a moment tomorrow to remember where you were when it happened, and appreciate those close to you.
I was in a courtroom in San Mateo, California serving on a jury when it happened. The judge refused to stop the trial, and said from the bench "You all will remember where you were today."
I keep my juror's certificate dated September 11, 2001 as a remembrance.

I will if i'm not too busy dodging whatever is going to happen tomorrow.
Forget the buildings remember the 3000 dead!
Oh, and I was in my office...on this web site in fact...or surfing the net for sure.
I was on a United Airlines 737 with a Boston-based flight crew. We took off at 6:00 PST, and were grounded soon thereafter.
The captain was very open with us about what was going on - we almost put down in another city, but we got back to the point of origin.
Waiting to land, walking out through that airport, televisions on the news, planes scattered everywhere on the tarmac, and cops everywhere in and in front of the airport - it was a scary time.
I have my own memories of that horrible day imbedded in my mind to forever haunt me. I just hope that the future doesn't hold any more 9/11's or worse. Just where is God when you need him the most?
I will remember those that died such a terrible death, and those that they left behind to try and pick up the pieces of their life and move on. Is that ever possible?

Hey chevy
A national day of prayer and remembrance..
Does that mean it is to become a public holiday from work, schools etc.
I was busy cleaning my house when it happened. A neighbour called me and I ran over to her house to watch the T.V. for awhile. It was just so unbelievably horrible that day.
I drove to school and got my kids and brought them home.

I must have been getting ready for work when the first plane hit WTC. I didn't have any news on so I had no idea what was going on. I left for work on my bike about 9:15 and parked my bicycle outside my work building at about 9:45. My office building is less than a mile from the Pentagon. When I got to work, I noticed a darker than usual cloud in the distance above another building in the direction of the Pentagon. Saw a few people outside looking in that direction but didn't think much of it. I got up to my office and logged onto my computer, and a few minutes later my wife called to ask if I was ok. That's when I first learned what had happened. I looked out my window and noticed that the cloud was much darker now and realized it was the smoke from the Pentagon. Of course, not much else got done that day. People were starting to get very frightened. I was trying to get onto news websites, unsuccessfully at times, until we were dismissed from work. I rode my bike home through the traffic jam and a lot of people who were walking away from the Pentagon.
I was in a hospital room asleep just hours before I was scheduled to have a tumor removed from my right leg. I remember my mom walking into my room with tears in her eyes (we have family in Manhattan) and asked me if I knew what was going on.
She turned on the tv and within 30 seconds, the second tower was hit. I will never forget.

I got to bed at about 3:00 am and was asleep when the first plane hit. For some reason I woke up. You know, the kind of awake when you're really really awake? I immediately got out of bed and turned the TV on and within 30 or 40 seconds saw the second plane hit.
That whole day felt like some out of body experience. One of the creepiest and saddest days of my life. I still can't believe the whole thing happened.
